We spent 2 nights here. It was really hot, so the AC was great. There was Wi-Fi in the rooms which worked well. The street the hotel is on is really narrow. The hotel is just a few blocks to the Piazza Duomo where you can have breakfast with the Hotel's voucher. It's a pleasant square to sip your cappuccino... More

Great location in old Cefalu. Clean and roomy. Spacious bathroom. Nice rooftop terrace. Staff was helpful and friendly. Cigarette smoke drifts into hallways.

Stayed here two nights and enjoyed it very much. Decent sized rooms and bathrooms, with WIFI available in your room. No English channels on the TV, at least I could not find any. Has a rooftop terrace with good views. No breakfast at hotel, but for us they gave each a voucher to use at a close by cafe/pastry shop... More

We chose this Hotel for it's location and it was perfect. The bathroom, however hadn't been cleaned, there was no WiFi as stated and the aircon kept us awake.... I think this place is a bit over priced for what we were given but the location is superb with excellnt views from the roof terrace. We were aware of the... More

We got the recommendation from lonely planet. But will be contacting them to let them know the staff AREN'T helpful. The bathroom is a safety hazard. There is a lift but the step as you get out of the shower is a killer. There was a problem with our booking and they were not at all helpful at this point... More

My husband and I spent one night at La Giara's, and we found it was honestly priced, clean, and perfect to see Cefalu': it is located just a few mins from the Duomo, the Museo Mandralisca, and the beach, all withing walking distance. They speak some English at the reception, and there's an automatic vendor in a little sitting room... More

Hotel and rooms are small to average. Our balcony overlooked a back alley Clean. Wierd towels. Shower ran hot or cold, not both at the same time. No on-site breakfast; get voucher for... More

This hotel is suitable for anyone who wants a comfortable stay with the best possible location for exploring the city and who does not require a luxurious 4+ star hotel. Everything you want is near-by and the hotel is located in a nice surrounding with a beautiful roof top view. The rooms have a unique cozy character. If you want... More

I stayed here for two nights in October 2009. Having read reviews I had some idea what to expect, but for what I wanted (to see the mosaics) the location was perfect, so I thought I could put up with the rest. I didn't find the staff as surly as some have said: but it depended on who was on... More

As others have stated, the rooms tend to be small and dark and the staff indifferent, even surly. The location is good and the rooftop terrace is wonderful, but I would not recommend this hotel.
